Based on your history a biopsy is prudent. I had the flaking, and eventually the nipple turned a smooth red color as the cancer grew. I also could express a yellowish to light orange discharge from the nipple with manipulation. The other breast expressed more of a milky white.

I also had underlying lesions, multifocal - but had not had a mammogram for many years (bad idea). In my own experience, the pagetoid spread did not show on a mammogram. A MRI showed an additional 2 lesions in addition to a large IDC lesion.

I hope it isn't cancer - if it is, it sounds like you and your oncologist are right on top of it.

You can do a Google search for Paget's of the breast and select images. If you just search Paget's - the bone disease the same doctor discovered will pop up. Interesting photos - some obviously very advanced cases.
